your wife is a rarity in the world of the bureaucrat. Very few government employees I come into contact with have ANY common sense. BTW, guns do a great job killing people, but trying to control guns isn't the answer.
Col Ron, maybe you should spearhead a campaign to have a better system.
thats awesome bobber. I have been kicking around the idea myself. What most people dont know is you dont need to fish the buffalo or CC or big name places like that to catch a BIG smallie.
FWIW, I would not call the river low by any means. It is prime for fishing right now. You will cover more water than you think you will. The buffalo will go half a mile with water that is 2ft deep and a bottom of slab limestone, then there might be a hole a half mile long that is 10ft deep. Obviously you will be skipping the 2ft deep section.
I would float from hwy 14 bridge to rush.
it was a great weigh-in, and I bet they will be back next year. Everyone in the tourny kept saying how awesome the lake was, and gerald swindle sounded like a commercial for tourism saying that if he was wanting a place to come stay and go fishing Bull Shoals is the place to do it.
